In General

 Electric is very dangerous, but it so important to our life

 Electric must have a device can be control him.
 This device we call protective device (PD)
 The protective device must be follow the IEE act
regulation.(institute electrical engineering)

Why we need PD?

1. Human life protection

2. Fire and burning building and asset protection
3. Equipment damage protection.

Basic built for PD

1. Act fast
2. Selectivity
3. Sensitivity
4. reliability

PD working on

1. Time –Discrimination time –Mengadakan satu lewat

masa supaya pemutus litar yang paling hampir
dengan kerosakan akan terpotong terlebih
dahulu.Sekiranya tidak terpotong barulah pemutus
litar yang berikutnya akan terpotong.

2. Current – Alat perlindungan boleh dipilih atau ditatah
supaya apabila arus lebih pemutus litar yg paling hampir
dgn tempat kerosakan akan bertindak.Jika tidak yg
berikut akan bertindak.

DISTRIBUTION BOARD

 A distribution board (DB) is a component of an

electricity supply system which divides an electrical
power feed into subsidiary circuits, while providing a
protective devices or circuit breaker for each circuit
